The Buoy Water Bottle boasts a design that's made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic and it's a reusable drinking vessel with an intriguing design. The bottle has three distinct parts that can be taken apart so that the colorful components—the bottle, cup and finger loop—can be mixed and matched.
The full-sized bottle is lightweight and comes in at only 250 grams, and it's not only a design that helps to clean up the oceans from ocean plastic since it's also 100% recyclable itself. The bottle can be recycled in a home recycling box or the Buoy Bottle recycling scheme, so that old or broken bottles can be recycled into brand-new ones when they're sent back to the Los Angeles-based company.
